- Serve with chunks of crusty bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens. There are many different types of greens that can be used in this soup, so feel free to use what you have on hand or what you like the best.

- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. This will make your soup even more delicious and flavorful.
